's listen in. >> as we mourn the tragedy at sandy hook elementariary school, members of congress and all americans offer the word of consolation to the families, words of grief, of mourning, our prayers. yet no words are adequate to console the families these children and others taken from us in an act of senseless, unspeakable violence. here in congress what we need now are not more words, what we need is action. we must take action to protect our children from harm to preserve the safety of our schools and to keep our community safe. we must take action so that we can tell our children that we are doing everything in ure power to prevent -- in our power to prevent these tragedies from ever happening again. this morning you will be hearing from members of colleagues. steny hoyer. he may not be able to stay here the entire time with us. as we know, as the president said on sunday night, we can't tolerate this anymore. these tragedies must end and to end them we must change. in congress we're blessed with the leadership of congresswoman carolyn mccarthy. she's brought to this debate her o

. we all mourn the loss. we see the problem and it's happened in other countries as well. we look for something, okay, what can prevent it? i think that's where we need to go with this discussion, yes, put gun control, more gun control on the table. but also don't forget the mental health element. don't forget, is there a home situation that we need to learn more about. you know, was this young man addicted to violent video games? was there a hollywood influence? i think that we can't just stop at guns. we need to put the whole thing on the table. you know, you know when you drop your child off at school, you want to know that he or she is going to be safe all day long. >> so when you talk about the fact you think more gun control may be a topic to debate right now. there are certainly a number of politicians who have been pro-gun rights in the past. they're now advocating for gun control including senator joe manchin who fired a gun in this ad right here. we're watching it here. they are changing their tune a bit. i want to remind everybody. take a listen. >> i don't know anyone

for that generous round of applause. i am going to start out by boring you, telling you what my mourning has been like. because i am is now admitting that i have to do something about my life, number one. without my cell phone today, i probably would not have made it here. because i was where i have a house that i am trying to put on the market, and the traffic from there to here was over two hours. in the meantime, i wanted to let people here know what was going on with me. so with my cell phone, i called a friend who called somebody. they called somebody. and i made it here. because she knew how to use her computer and resources. i am with you. i need more lessons, obviously. i had the phone but not the knowledge. we're going to do something about that in my household. we're also doing something about living that far away from the center of everything, which is right here in the city. if you want to buy a house in the country would to a half acres, i have got one for you. it is is the morning as we all evolves, and as my husband and i get closer to 80, both of us have retired two times already.

morning. i happened to listen to mourning joe this morning, sorry. >> stephanie: i'm sorry for you. >> caller: said they these jobs coming back to america are great. they are paying 15 to $17 an hour. and i'm thinking you can't buy a house or send your kids to college on $17. and in michigan people are saying they ought to let the unions go because people just need jobs. >> stephanie: it's what the president was saying yesterday. this should be a race to the top, not a race to the bottom. oh, she is done with me. >> she'll listen to you off line. >> stephanie: i always hang around too long. shut up chris. >> i have no reason to talk. >> stephanie: good morning, susan. >> caller: good morning. my husband is a union bricklayer in chicago. he works so hard. he lifts 64-pound flats all day long, eight-hours a day. he gets a decent wage. he doesn't get his birthday off, a paid vacation if christmas is on a tuesday, he doesn't get paid. we make a nice wage but we're not millionaires. and union people built this country, not mitt romney >> stephanie: yep. >> they act like

yesterday, mourning his death. >>> westfield shopping center expected to open this morning after a fire. the fire broke out at a restaurant on the 4th floor after 8:30 last night. the theater was temporarily evacuated no word on a cause. >>> 6:07. traffic and weather together, next on the abc7 morning news. live look outside now, highway 87, held lights moving along just fine, no moisture on the roads this morning. in a couple of days that is going to change. mike will fill you in coming up. sue is following your traffic. >>> ranking religion. ! >>> welcome back. live doppler you see showers even thunderstorms over the ocean clear over land with our coast tilting northwest shower off the shore near ft. bragg could get close to sea ranch move -- most of us are going to be safe visibility limited other than a few clouds here and there not much to talk about as far as fog or frost, yet this morning. off to a cooler start, low to mid 40s, 30s north bay valleys, near 50 and more sun 4:00, back into the 40s, for the evening. >>> inching along behind the bay bridge toll, metering lights on tra

and we find strength in that, and so we're mourning, but we're also thinking of god at this time, that he'll give us the strength of his son. >> police officers from neighboring communities filled in for newtown police so all of them could have the holiday off and be with their families. >>> a newspaper outside of new york city is causing quite a controversy this morning. it published an interactive map showing the names and addresses of all handgun permit holders in new york's westchester and rockland counties. that map allows readers to zoom in on the red dots to indicate which residents are licensed to own pistols or resolve volvers. it received morning 1300 comments, mostly negative, threatening to cancel subscriptions. the paper said they did this in the wake of newtown and to focus on gun control, even though none of these people have committed any crime by owning their gun. they're just saying they want their readers to be interested in knowing about the guns in their neighborhoods. >>> a snowboarder was killed on monday after getting caught in an avalanche at donor ski ranch. the

add mine to the many voices mourning his passing and say to his family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. mr. president, danny inouye was something in our senate that i think we should all strive to be and that is he was a warrior but he was a gentle man. he was a man who was loyal to the core for not only his beliefs but also his friends. and if he gave you his word, his word was good. he is someone that every one of us who knew him cared for and regarded as a giant among us. in fact, i would say today that the senate has lost a gentle giant. thank you, mr. president. and i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from maryland. mr. cardin: mr. president, i join with senator hutchison in paying tribute to senator daniel k. inouye. i rise today to pay tribute to our dear colleague. senator inouye was not one of the tallest senators. in fact, he had a slight built and a quite demeanor, but he was a giant. he will be missed by all here in the senate. people of his beloved hawaii will miss him. all americans will miss him. in the immediate af

and basically saved our lives. we debriefed extensively. we mourned. you know you mourn those that you lost. and you sort of then move on. but it's always with you. the anniversary's january 27, i remember it like it was yesterday. happened in 2004. richard's seen a lot of stuff in his career. something different, as it was with the ambush, certainly for me, it was personal. i had been in a bunch of firefight. these guys were trying to kill us, that's a personal thing. these guys were kidnapping them and they didn't know what was happening. it's different to being an observer. they're going to have to work through some of this. i'm glad that they're okay. it was worrying when we knew they were missing. >> what gave you the strength to go back out there after you experienced so much and seeing your colleagues gunned down? >> for me personally. >> yes. >> it was respect for our local staff. i didn't want to be the westerner who something bad happened and i ran away. i was back in six months because i wanted to go back and a sign of respect and solidarity. that's just for me. everybody's diffe

that afghanistan and america share the grief of mourning for too many dead. finally, thanks to a remarkable criminal case still unfolding in canada, we now know that the maple syrup there is just as valuable as it is delicious. the "new york times" reports that on tuesday, three men were arrested for allegedly stealing six million pounds of maple syrup valued at $18 million from the country's global strategic maple syrup reserve which is a real thing. since quebec can produce around 75% of the world's supply, excess reserves are stockpiled. what oil is to opec, syrup is to the federation of quebec. went down like this. thieves who were basically inside guys entered part of a warehouse with 16,000 drums were stored, then loaded up trucks with their bounty and started selling to buyers in canada and across the border in new hampshire and vermont. we also know how seriously this crime is being taken. roughly 300 people have been questioned and 40 search warrants enacted so the five suspects still on the run know that justice will likely be served and it will likely be sweet. want to find out w

. >> a grandfather mourning his granddaughter -- >> if this bill passes, an innocent victim in north carolina like brittany could not hold the manufacturer accountable. everyone needs to be accountable for their actions. >> unmentioned to those in the room, alec was present too, in the form of a lobbyist with drug manufacturing giant glaxosmithkline. his name is john del giorno. >> several of the opposing testifiers today brought up very compelling, sad, empathetic stories. >> not only is glaxo an alec corporate member, del giorno himself islso a vice chairman of alec's national private enterprise board. the north carolina bill has been tabled for now. so now you've seen how it works for corporations. how about for the politicians? >> last night was, as the president finally acknowledged today, a shellacking. republicans gain control of the house, picking up 60 seats so far. >> when all of the returns were counted on election night 2010, alec was a big winner. eight of the republican governors elected or re-elected that night had ties to the group. >> guess what, i'm going to be governor of ohio.

was allow for a proper period of mourning after the new town tragedy while the gun control lobby just went straight out of the gates right after the shooting became known and press their case in the media that's going to change. the nra is soon going to start to push back. you are going to see a major news conference with the president of the organization wane lap peer and others on friday in washington. >> let me stop threw. that's ridiculous. nobody is going to see it? >> nobody is working on friday. it's a friday before christmas. not going to get any play. nobody is going to be watching over the weekend. why not. >> that's just one part of it, bill. you are going to see the full weight of this organization and four million members brought to baier in the legislative battles that carl cammeron just discussing. >> they say they are unwilling to compromise. >> i think you will find, bill, that the nra is not going to let an assault weapons ban being reinstated without a fight and draw a particular red line around senator feinstein's proposal to limit the amount of ammunition be loaded int

what we could do about it. you have to mourn appropriately and figure out what to do to prevent something like this from happening in the future. but i think that respect for the families is the bottom line here. >> i think for me the question is not that it is being covered but how it is being covered. i remember back in journalism school this was a long time ago in original reporting in one class. one of the assignments was to go out and find in the newspaper the family of someone who had just been killed or just died and set up an interview. i said i am not going to do that particularly for a journalism school class. i had a personal experience dealing with this when the gulf war when one of my friends was killed in the fighting in saudi arabia. his house became a camp out for these news cameras and we were so angry at the reporters who were there all of the time. the second you walked out of the front door they were there with a microphone in your face. i will say after covering 9-11 and being in new york on the 12th you get a different sense to a certain extent. you have fa

they live on and mourn their death. and realize i thought she would be able to make it back to school on the seventh. when school is back from winter break. >> a second victim a 13-year- old boy is recovering from nonlife threatening injuries. authorities are going over surveillance video. also questioning witnesses in the shooting. trying to find some answers. >>> now we know the names of two young men killed in west oakland last friday. 21-year-old darrell armstrong and 19-year-old keith davis was shot and killed on immediate avenue. they were friends and armstrong lived near that shooting scene. police say the investigation continues. >>> it is 5:35. tomorrow will be four years since the shooting death of  oscar grant. grant was shot and killed by bart police officer johan necessary mehserle on the platform of the bart fruitvale station. the shooting was captured on cell phone video and the jury convicted mehserle of involuntary manslaughter. >>> 5:36. security breach at palms spring caused a one hour delay in flights and operations out there. this happened about 1:00 yesterday a

a nuclear weapon. >>> the military world is mourning the death of the man known as stormin' norman. general schwarzkopf died yesterday from complications with pneumonia. he helped lead forces during the first gulf war that removed saddam hussein from kuwait. a friend of his says schwarzkopf was in love with america and possessed with a sense of duty. he was 78 years old. schwarzkopf's death sparked reaction from many prominent american politicians and military leaders. former secretary of state general colin powell said "america lost a great patriot and a great soldier. his leadership not only inspired his troops but also inspired the nation." >>> the man accused of walking into sandy hook elementary school in shenandoah county, virginia with a two by four will be in court. the incident happened last week in strasburg. 33-year-old christopher johnson wrote high-powered rifle on the board. police say he made general statements about school safety. nobody was hurt. johnson is now charged with disorderly conduct. >>> today is the first day of the nation's gun show in chantilly. protesters plan

and school employees in that area. and craig, in the meantime, this community as you mentioned is mourning and the president will be here later tonight to help with that, but this community has certainly rallied around win another. the families of course attending many of those services throughout this sunday morning. as they have these last few days. and taking comfort in one another, taking comfort in a place of solace and a place of worship wherever they choose. >> connecticut's governor dan malloy told abc news this morning that speedy action by first responders may have very well prevented an even worse tragedy. take a listen. >> we surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he heard responders coming and apparently at that decideded to take his own life. >> what else, michelle can you tell us about those final moments before adam lanza decided to kill himself? >> reporter: well, those are certainly the detailsa we're hoping that we'll learn about, perhaps at this press conference or in the coming days, exactly the length that adam lansa had to this school, in fact w

is mourning the horrific event of friday in newtown, connecticut. president obama spoke last night about change. >> we can't kol rate this any more. these tragedies must end. and to end them, we must change. we will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. no single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or event every senseless act of violence in our society. >>> and earlier in the day, new york city mayor michael bloomberg called on the president to lead the nation on the issue of gun control. >> it's time for the president, i think, to stand up and lead and tell this country what we should do. not go to congress and say, what you guys want to do. this should be his number one agenda. he's the president of the united states. and if he does nothing during his second term, something like 48,000 americans will be killed with illegal guns. that is roughly the number of americans killed in the whole vietnam war. so let's get to cnbc's washington correspondent john harwood to talk about how washington will handle the gun control issue. i guess th

lives in newtown, connecticut. we mourn for the enormity of grief, the inconsolable loss visited upon newtown's families. and we know that our response to newtown must not and cannot go the way of the many other senseless acts of violence we almost routinely witness. the tragedy in newtown must be a call to action. members from both sides of the aisle have acknowledged that it is time for a conference -- conversation about the accessibility of high capacity weapons in our country and the culture of violence we live in. this conversation is long overdue, and it is simply not an option to allow this discussion to become stagnant or to be bullied into silence by seemingly untouchable organizations. america's laws must reasonably control gun manufacturing, sale, and usage. we must act to make real changes that will provide real protection for america's families. in the days to come, let us work together to do just that. thank you. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas rise? ms. jackson le

in the closest. the care in methodist hospital is unequaled to anywhere in the world . the nation is mourning the loss much a american hero. norman schwarzkoph, known as stormin normon has died. he led international coalition that drove saddam hussein's forces out of kuwait. former president bush who organized the coalition approved a statement even though he was in intensive care. general norman schwarzkoph has seen this nation through the most trying crisis. more than that he was a good and dear man and a great friend. schwarzkoph was knighted and he was 78 years old. he didn't like to be called stormin' norman. he liked to be called bear. >> he was called bear and in 1981, when i was a young sergeant he was my commanding general. >> julia: you will see help him in the hallways. >> kelly: i worked for a public affairs and writing for newspapers and covering pope john paul which general schwarzkoph provided security for. he was an imposing figure and i would walk by him and say hello, sir. you definite low wanted pay attention. he was a general and wound up doing great things as a general's

ringing ] >> this was a day of mourning one week after the connecticut school massacre. and this was the day the national rifle association finally spoke out about the shooting that horrified the nation and so much of the world. no questions were taken, no concessions were made. but there was a new call for armed guards in america's schools, all of them, and a good deal of head scratching when it was all over. cnn's tom foreman is joining us. you were there at that speech. tell our viewers what happened. >> reporter: the speech was really a great coming-out of statements from an association that's been quiet since the shooting in connecticut. many voters are very much aligned with the n.r.a. listen to what they had to say. despite protesters, the president and public opinion increasingly pushing against the gun lobby, the n.r.a. sent a strong message -- no retreat. >> the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a guy. i call on congress today to act immediately to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every single school

of this capitol to mourn the loss and celebrate the life of one of our greatest colleagues, senator daniel k. inouye of hawaii. even noe now his desk sits draped in black and his chair with a lei flown in from his home state of hawaii and all of us this week have known and felt the change in this chamber. the senate has lost a giant, and america has lost a hero. danny inouye was truly a great man, and i feel blessed in my short time here, my two years, to have been -- had the opportunity to sit with him over a private lunch, to joke with him occasionally in the anti-room, to learn something of his spirit and his personality. he had such a big heart and such a wonderfully gracious spirit. most of the senators i've had the honor to come to know in these two years, i only knew as a great distance as a local elected official, at someone as a business community at home in delaware. and, frankly, when i asked senator inouye to lunch, i was intimidated. as a congressional medal of honor winner, as a giant of the senate, the chairman of the appropriations committee and the president pro tempore of t
